Rep. Schiff on CNN -- There is a Terror Threat Around Election

On Friday, November 4, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) joined Jake Tapper on CNN's The Lead to discuss security around the election.

"We have these concerns around every election, but I have to say that I think there is more of a concern this time than I've seen in the past," California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead."

"There is a threat and I can't go into specifics," he said. "But we often see around pivotal events, like an election, like July 4, an increase in the threat to the country and here you have al Qaeda that is still trying to prove that it's lethal, still trying to compete with ISIS, ISIS losing its caliphate, trying to lash out."
